7/1

Happy July time!

This morning I woke up still tired. Today was day 1 of transit time; taking my bff, the industrial tape measure and struggling in the water with it elongated out 20 meters against the current. I worked together in a small group and after we worked out the kinks in our on-land game plan, the project went really smoothly. I have a ton of photos to sort through. We did a point transit for our first trial, and then we're going out later to do a regular meter transit. (Ah metrics) The camera is working swimmingly (hehehe) and I was able to get some good shots. 

(Skip drying in the diveskin and playing fetch with Cona)

Now is lunch time. 

(Skip hot dog lunch and working on identification of organisms.)

Going out to do the normal transit was amazingly quick and our group was AWESOME. I love the people and we all worked together really well to get it done SUPER early. Which was definitely nice. I think that was the most efficient transit I've ever done. It was just the four of us because Thomas went out diving, so we each had a job and it went swimmingly (hehe) even though we were in moving water. Now is the "fun" part of identifying several several organisms over a lot of photos. SO dedicated work time begins... (I'm probably going to break for a bit and internet around.)

After a few hours of fun time, we were able to get the majority of our work done. Natalie and I worked at light speed while the boys helped... mostly by keeping Dante entertained. Then we rocked out for a while before bed.
